Jones is an amazing striker but he got outstruck by machida and I think that a in shape shogun would as well. But the first shogun fight made jones look like he was completely on a different level on the ground (what he was) and on the feet (in my opinion what he isn't).

well if we're talking Nick Diaz then we have to go w/Nick Diaz vs Carlos Condit. This was Nick Diaz thinking he had control the whole match and never attempted to chase a running Condit and instead just made the gestures 'look I want to fight and this guy wont fight me', that was poor by Diaz standards.

I love Jones but i think he has an insane advantage having such lanky limbs (and sure he has good technical ability) but it makes him look so much better than he is imo.

Frank Mir's fight against Big Nog. Favourite reversal probably ever but yeah. Also had I not witnessed the Bigfoot fight I would have said Cain against Brock looked better than he was. Instead I'll say Cain looked worse than he was against JDS.

Obviously if you want to talk about fights where the fighter looked way better than he is, how can we not say Sonnen against Silva. That was the fight of his life and then an excellent display against Stann followed by a dodgy performance vs Bisping (though Bisping was good there).

Every fight Mike Swick won "quickly" made him look better than he really was. I'm a fan of the guy, but he blitzkreiged a few scrubs and became a world beater over night.

Dan Hardy Vs. Lytle. That was pretty much a stale mate of a match, until half way through the last round Dan started to turn up the pressure and we immediately saw who the superior striker was... then like an idiot, he goes for a shot. It made him look dumb, but certainly not a sub par fighter.
